Welcome to another Geo-Tour in the Neighbourhood of South Vancouver. I noticed there are not a heck of a lot of caches in this area so I thought I would add to the fun. You will have to pick up clues along the way to gather intel for the final. I guess you could call it a multi but with a twist ;) Have fun with this one and don't forget to collect clues from all the points of interest mentioned bellow. Good luck!
At the posted coordinates you should be near a public transport hub. You actually don't have to enter translink property to gather clues. All stages are within walking distance of Marine Drive station. Near the entrance to the platform you should find a Pax Statue of a very iconic historical figure.
Look for a silver plaque located next to this statue. What year did he become the first fur trader to explore the river he is named after? Last Digit =F
"We came to a place where the river divides into several channels". Last digit of the year of this quote =M
Finally the last digit of the year he died -2 =E
Go North and find the courtyard with a few shops including a movie theatre upstairs. There should be another plaque about Salish Gifts. The number of animals hunted by the Musqueam =A
How many zero's are in the the number of years mentioned? This number =D
Now look down on the ground. There are many plaques here. Find the correct numbers here before you go to the next stage. Find the coordinates for the Fraser River Delta. N 49...3rd digit of the West coords =J
There are 22_ Km2 of Drainage Basin.=K
How many Million Litres are there per second Spring? Use the second digit after the decimal =O
How many Million Litres are there per second Winter? Use the last digit =B
How many species of Fish? 1st digit =I
How many species of Salmon? 1st digit -5 =C
Coordinates for the Fraser River Delta. N 49...1st digit of the minutes of the West coords =H
Next continue North and Cross the Street. Look for the Golden Tree located on the NE corner of Marine Drive and Cambie Street. How many circular light fixtures are on the ground at the base of the tree =L
Finally Continue North on Cambie Street until you find a wooden sign on a grassy island. If you pass Langara you've gone too far. Number of words on this sign =D Last digit of nearest Avenue =G The value for M =N From here continue North for a few more blocks to get the final! It can be found at:
